Caitlin Clark posts gushing birthday message to boyfriend Connor McCaffery
By JAMES COHEN
As the Indiana Fever reveled in their latest WNBA win on Sunday night, franchise star Caitlin Clark had other priorities on her mind.
The Fever stormed to a 102-83 win over the Dallas Wings, as Clark picked up 14 points, 13 assists and three rebounds on an impressive evening for the 23-year-old.
However, instead of being swept up in the celebrations with her teammates, Clark took to Instagram to share a touching message for her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.
Clark wrote: 'happy happy happy birthday con. you make everyday better and I couldn’t be more grateful. may this be the best year yet, i love you'
The WNBA Rookie of the Year shared four pictures featuring boyfriend McCaffery including one where she posed alongside her partner in full Fever gear.
The couple have been together for more than two years, having met back at Iowa University.

McCaffery, now, works as an assistant coach at Butler, which keeps him in Indianapolis and in close proximity to Clark.
The heartfelt message came on a night where Clark dominated against the Wings and, in the process, set a WNBA record.
The sophomore guard, who has played just 12 games this season due to injury, is now the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 200 points and 100 assists in a single season.
While her scoring is down from last season at 16.7 points per game, she's averaging 9.0 assists a game for the Fever - second in the league behind only Alyssa Thomas.
Clark, who was voted as a WNBA All-Star for the second time this season, shattered the league's single-season assist record last year.

She broke the previous record set by Thomas (316 assists) with two games to spare, ultimately finishing with 337 (Thomas also re-broke her previous record and finished with 317 last season).
Following her Rookie of the Year campaign last year, Clark's second season has been up-and-down thus far.
She's missed nine of Indiana's 21 games due to quad and groin injuries, and has also seen her shooting percentages dip.
Clark is shooting just 37.4 percent from the field (down from 41.7 last year) and 28.9 percent from three-point range (down from 34.4).
She's also coughing up a league-worst 5.1 turnovers per night.
